As I write this note, a heatwave is beating down on the UK, signalling the arrival of the busy summer travel season. With air traffic reaching record highs globally, airports and airlines are under increasing pressure to maintain efficient GSE operations, ensure smooth turnarounds, and uphold high safety standards for both passengers and ground handling teams. In this issue, we bring you the latest developments in the GSE space, focusing on ground power units (GPUs), water and lavatory vehicles, and equipment leasing and rental. Electrification continues to be at the forefront of the minds of aviation stakeholders. To learn more, I visited ITW GSE's factory in Odense, Denmark, as well as Rushlift GSE's operation at Gatwick Airport, to find out about the companies' approaches to electrification and to discover how new technologies are transforming GSE design and operations. Moreover, I caught up with Aviator Airport Alliance at IGHC Cairo to gather insights on how the Nordic ground handler is approaching eGSE transition. I also spoke with Mathieu Blondel, co-author of a report on the topic, about the opportunities and challenges associated with decarbonising ground operations. While sustainability is evidently a key focus for the industry, safety on the apron remains a pressing issue. March saw a tragic incident at New York's LaGuardia Airport, in which an Air Canada plane collided with an Oshkosh Striker 1500 airfield rescue and firefighting (ARFF) vehicle. Megan Ramsay explores the circumstances that led to the accident, as well as wider advancements in ARFF technology and design. An additional challenge in flight safety is also emerging: bird strikes, which can result in serious damage to aircraft and, in rare cases, have caused engine failure. Tony Harrington investigates whether enough is being done to tackle the issue. We also welcome back a guest writer, Mark Finch, who pens an insightful article on GSE pooling.
In this episode of our AFOA 2026 Conference Live mini-series, you are going to hear a presentation from Peter Critchell and Craig Rayner exploring the development of the all-hazard leader within aviation fire and rescue. Drawing on experience from across the UK fire and rescue sector, the session examines how organisations can move beyond simple compliance to develop truly competent, confident and adaptable incident commanders capable of operating in complex, high-risk aviation environments. The discussion covers command competence, behavioural assessment, interoperability, decision making under pressure and the importance of continuous professional development through realistic training, simulation and structured review.

LaGuardia Runway Collision and the NTSB Preliminary Report Max talks about the fatal LaGuardia Airport runway collision involving Jazz Flight 646 and an ARFF fire truck responding to an emergency near Terminal B. The accident occurred at night, in rain and reduced visibility, as multiple airport rescue firefighting vehicles were moving toward an emergency scene and needed to cross Runway 4 at Taxiway D. Dr. Victor Vogel Max also gives a tribute to Dr. Victor Vogel, who recently passed away. The basic outline sounds simple: a fire truck was cleared to cross an active runway and was struck by a landing regional airliner. But the NTSB preliminary report reveals a much more complicated chain of events involving ATC communications, emergency response workload, runway status lights, ASDE-X limitations, and human factors. Truck 1 was part of a larger convoy of emergency vehicles. The tower controller cleared Jazz Flight 646 to land, then later cleared Truck 1 and company to cross Runway 4. About 20 seconds before the collision, the airplane was very low on final approach and roughly a quarter mile from the runway. Truck 1 read back the crossing clearance and began moving toward the runway. The controller then instructed Truck 1 to stop, but the truck continued accelerating and entered the runway just before impact. Why the Runway Entrance Lights Turned Off One of the most surprising details in the episode is that the runway entrance lights, or RELs, turned off just before Truck 1 entered the runway. These red in-pavement lights are part of the Runway Status Light system, which is installed at only a limited number of airports. They are designed to warn pilots and vehicle operators when it is unsafe to enter or cross a runway. At first glance, it sounds like the system failed. But Max explains that the lights apparently worked as designed. For arriving aircraft, runway entrance lights illuminate when an aircraft is approaching the runway, then extinguish at each equipped taxiway intersection a few seconds before the aircraft reaches that intersection. That timing supports ATC's use of anticipated separation, which allows controllers to issue clearances based on the expectation that required separation will exist by the time the clearance is actually used. That design may make sense when a crossing aircraft or vehicle is stopped at or near the hold-short line. But in this accident, Truck 1 was already rolling toward the runway and reached the runway edge just as the red lights extinguished. Max explains why that creates a serious human-factors trap. To a pilot or driver, red means stop. When red lights go dark, the intuitive message may be that the danger has ended. But with Runway Status Lights, dark does not mean "go." It only means the lights are no longer providing a stop warning, and an ATC clearance is still required. Why ASDE-X Did Not Alert Controllers The episode also examines why ASDE-X, the airport surface detection system, did not generate an aural or visual alert warning controllers of the conflict. The problem appears to involve the way the system detected the group of emergency vehicles. The responding vehicles were not equipped with transponders, so ASDE-X could not uniquely identify each vehicle. Multiple vehicles were intermittently detected as radar targets, but because they were close together and moving near each other, their radar returns merged and separated in a way that prevented the system from creating high-confidence tracks. At one point, the system displayed only two radar targets where there were actually seven response vehicles. Without reliable tracks for Truck 1 and the other vehicles, ASDE-X could not correlate Truck 1's movement with the landing aircraft and predict the runway conflict. Human Factors: More Than "He Should Have Looked" Max then turns to the human factors that may have affected the fire truck driver, the controllers, and the pilots. The key point is that this was not just a simple case of someone failing to look. A fire truck driver responding to an emergency is in a very different cognitive state from someone conducting a routine runway crossing. Emergency response increases urgency but can degrade scanning, patience, and cross-checking. Stress physiology can narrow visual attention and reduce peripheral awareness. Goal fixation can shift the driver's mental priority from "cross the runway safely" to "get to the emergency." Time pressure can make someone ask the wrong question: not "Is the runway actually clear?" but "Is anything still telling me to stop?" Expectation bias also matters. The driver may have believed that tower, the convoy, and the runway status lights were all part of a protected system. When the red lights extinguished, that may have reinforced the expectation that the runway was available, even though the landing airplane was still only seconds away. The Pilot Safety Lesson For pilots, the takeaway is direct: an ATC clearance is not a guarantee. Controllers can make mistakes. Automation can have blind spots. Warning systems can be technically correct while still creating misleading cues. And when an instruction or transmission is ambiguous, the safest assumption may be that it could apply to you. Max emphasizes that pilots must continue to look for traffic before entering any runway, even after receiving a clearance. Likewise, pilots on final approach should build a mental picture of airport surface activity and listen carefully for runway crossings that could affect them. The LaGuardia collision is a reminder that runway safety depends on more than procedures and technology. It depends on human beings recognizing when a situation is no longer routine, resisting expectation bias, and consciously widening their attention when stress and urgency are trying to narrow it.

Dynamic airline ticket pricing, Blackhawk helicopter altitude instrumentation, a U.S. Government equity position in Spirit Airlines, the NTSB preliminary report on the fatal LGA accident, capacity cuts at airports, AI-enabled ATC, the Digital Tower Technology Coalition, and SpaceX Starlink in-motion aviation plans. Aviation News JetBlue sued over claims it uses customers' personal data to set ticket prices Airline executives have told Congress that personal data is not used to dynamically set ticket prices. However, a complaint has been filed in federal court alleging that JetBlue uses “trackers” and shares data with third parties to dynamically set prices. This stems from an exchange on X where a passenger complained about a ticket price increase and JetBlue responded by saying the passenger should try “clearing your cache and cookies or booking with an incognito window.” JetBlue later stated that the response was incorrect and added that “fares can change at any moment as seats are purchased or as inventory is adjusted based on demand”. Army aviation chief: D.C. crash ‘wasn't about' outdated Black Hawk cockpit At a media briefing on Bell's MV-75 tiltrotor, The Air Current asked the commanding general of Army Aviation, Maj. Gen. Clair Gill, whether last year's fatal midair collision between a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter and an American Airlines regional jet changed the Army's thinking about fielding the Black Hawk's partial replacement. Gill answered, “No, it's completely unrelated.” The MV-75 will have “a more advanced cockpit, but the D.C. crash really wasn't about whether or not it was an advanced cockpit or not.” This implied that faulty altimeters and outdated avionics in the accident helicopter did not substantially contribute to the crash. The NTSB found that altitude exceedances on the Washington, D.C., helicopter routes were likely exacerbated by inaccurate altimeters on older UH-60L “Lima” Black Hawks, including the one involved in the crash. Possible Spirit rescue fuels new fears about government involvement in business The Federal government is considering an equity deal to keep Spirit Airlines afloat. Under the proposal, the airline would receive $500 million, providing additional liquidity as Spirit works to emerge from bankruptcy. The U.S. government could own up to 90% of the airline, according to sources. Reportedly, the government would charge Spirit a reasonable interest rate and move to the top of the debtor list. CBS News says, “The loan would be protected by Spirit assets that would exceed the government’s costs, and would provide taxpayers with a warrant — the right to own 90% of the company after it emerges from bankruptcy.” Also, “The Pentagon would use Spirit’s excess capacity for transporting troops, military cargo, or other missions. The airline would then likely be sold to another carrier.” See: Spirit Airlines nears deal with Trump administration for $500 million rescue package White House mulls using Defense Production Act in Spirit Airlines takeover Ted Cruz pours cold water on Trump administration plan to bail out Spirit Airlines: TERRIBLE idea’ NTSB Report LGA Air Canada Incident [PDF] On March 22, 2026, Jazz Aviation LP flight 646 (operating as Air Canada flight 8646), a CRJ-900, was substantially damaged after it collided with Rescue 35 (R35), an Oshkosh Striker 1500 aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF) vehicle, while landing on runway 4 at LaGuardia Airport. The captain and first officer were fatally injured. Of the 2 flight attendants, 72 passengers, and 2 crew of the ARFF vehicle, 39 were transported to local hospitals with 6 serious injuries reported. The airplane was a Part 129 scheduled flight from Montréal–Trudeau International Airport (YUL), Montreal, Quebec, to LGA. A review of the ASDE-X system data by the FAA determined that the system did not generate an aural or visual alert on the ASDE-X displays in the LGA ATC tower to warn controllers of the potential runway conflict. FAA orders Chicago O’Hare International Airport to cut over 300 planned flights daily between May and October The FAA is ordering flight reductions at Chicago O’Hare International Airport over the summer travel season. 3,080 daily flights were scheduled for peak summer days in 2026. Now O’Hare flights will be restricted to 2,708 per day from May 17 to Oct. 24. This change is motivated by capacity and operational delay concerns. The FAA said it intends to bring in more air traffic controllers, speed up controller training, reduce delays by optimizing routes and airspace, and increase communication between the agency, the airport, and airlines during high-risk periods. FAA quietly developing AI enabled air traffic management system The Strategic Management of Airspace Routing Trajectories (SMART) is an artificial intelligence-powered software tool designed for air traffic management. People familiar with the project say it could fundamentally change how the U.S. airspace system operates. Palantir, Thales, and Airspace Intelligence (ASI) are competing on the initiative. Operational start could be as early as later this year. The system could enable the FAA to plan for bottlenecks and anticipate schedule conflicts before an aircraft even leaves the ground. This contrasts with today’s human-centric, reactive ATC structure. Digital Tower Technology Coalition Pushing Remote ATC The Digital Tower Technology Coalition “is an alliance of stakeholders advocating for the FAA's implementation of the digital tower program, as outlined in the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024. By leveraging U.S. airports, regional partners, air traffic controllers, original equipment manufacturers, and federal partners, our coalition seeks to ensure an efficient and transparent process while strengthening U.S. global competitiveness in cutting-edge aviation technology.” See the Press Release: Introducing the Digital Tower Technology Coalition, Representing Bold Commitment to Innovation in Effort to Modernize U.S. Aviation [PDF] SpaceX Cuts Starlink Aviation Prices – New GA Plans Start at $200/Month When SpaceX imposed a 100 mph speed cap on all non-aviation plans, general aviation pilots were forced to switch to more expensive aviation-specific tiers. That generated an outcry from the flying community, including a petition with over 9,500 signatures. GA pilots had been using Starlink Roam for $50 per month with a 100GB data cap. Now SpaceX has made some changes to its in-motion aviation plans. Aviation 300MPH is renamed General Aviation Local 50GB, the price is lowered to $200 per month (from $250), and the monthly data limit is increased to 50GB (from 20GB). Additional data can be purchased in 50GB blocks for $25 (from $10 per GB). The Aviation 450 MPH plan is now General Aviation Global 50GB, which is still $1,000 per month, but the monthly data cap has been increased to 50GB (from 20GB). Additional data can be purchased in 50GB blocks for $100 (from $50 per GB).

rWotD Episode 2736: Teruel Airport Welcome to Random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia’s vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Wednesday, 30 October 2024 is Teruel Airport.Teruel Airport (IATA: TEV, ICAO: LETL) is an airport near Teruel in the Teruel Province of Spain. Known under the commercial name Plataforma Aeroportuaria-Teruel (PLATA), it was certified for public use by the Spanish Aviation Safety and Security Agency (AESA) on 5 February 2013, after being repurposed from an original military airbase. Permission for air operations was granted by the AESA on 28 February 2013. The airport serves as an aircraft maintenance and aircraft storage facility for the Tarmac Aerosave company, and has no passenger traffic.The airport includes a main building with a control tower as well as a basic terminal, but is not equipped to handle passenger traffic. An aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF) station is located next to the terminal. Also on site are three main maintenance and part-removal hangars (the original one for Boeing 747s and the newest for Airbus A340s). PLATA is owned by a consortium formed by the Government of Aragon and Teruel City Council, and does not belong to Aena Group, the Spanish airports management company.The dry climate makes the airport suitable for long-term aircraft storage, with capacity for 250 aircraft. During the COVID-19 pandemic, approximately 100 grounded planes were parked there.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:28 UTC on Wednesday, 30 October 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Teruel Airport on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Kimberly.

Confidence and sexuality can be a deep rooted topic especially when you are living with a chronic condition. Any shame and guilt we carry in our disability can easily carry through to other areas of our life. Inside this episode, I'm hanging out with Erika Arff, Sex & Confidence Coach and fellow type one diabetic. Inside this episode, she teaches us how to change the habit of compartmentalize our diabetes and bring it into our self love journey. Erika Eileen works through the lens of HAES (health at every size) and sex positivity. Erika is a Type 1 Diabetic & has been living with this disability for 21 years. Erika believes that every person is deserving of confidence inside and outside of the bedroom. Erika has been featured in Cosmopolitan and was nominated as a Top 10 Sex & Love Experts on TikTok. Erika encourages her audience to define confidence for themselves and what it means to be a rad, bad bitch. When she's not shaking her ass on TikTok, you can find her skateboarding on the boardwalk, listening to Latin music, with an overpriced iced coffee in hand. Here's whats inside today's episode: How Erika went from burnt out with her T1D, living in Australia to loving her body, disability and all. The importance of expressing your needs inside of your diabetes management and all other areas of life.

When I moved from the big city to a rural community, I suspected that the fire department here had to operate differently. From my first day in the area, I started noticing many differences. I didn't see any fire hydrants and I knew my residential water came from a pretty small water department. It seemed there was always a brush fire or some type of structure fire off in the distance. Less than a half mile down the road from my home, I saw a fire station…. next to a major interstate. Almost everyday, a fire engine roared by my house followed by a tanker. The sides of the apparatus read "WCFPD." That was about the extent of my knowledge about this fire department... until a few months later...when my, then, 18 year old son started volunteering as a fire fighter there.Williamson County Fire Protection District or WCFPD may be small when compared to big city fire departments but I soon discovered that it is actually an amazing fire department and serves it's community well here in Southern Illinois. Their training, the emergency response… is second to none…..which includes Hazmat, Aircraft Rescue and Firefighting (ARFF), wild land firefighting, rescue…. automotive , structure fires of any size…. and always some unique calls that are found only in rural America. To provide such a service to the community takes leadership. Williamson County Fire Protection District has that experienced leadership …. and many are volunteers.

From Wikipedia: An engineered materials arrestor system, engineered materials arresting system (EMAS), or arrester bed is a bed of engineered materials built at the end of a runway to reduce the severity of the consequences of a runway excursion. Engineered materials are defined in FAA Advisory Circular No 150/5220-22B as "high energy absorbing materials of selected strength, which will reliably and predictably crush under the weight of an aircraft". While the current technology involves lightweight, crushable concrete blocks, any material that has been approved to meet the FAA Advisory Circular can be used for an EMAS. The purpose of an EMAS is to stop an aircraft overrun with no human injury and minimal aircraft damage. The aircraft is slowed by the loss of energy required to crush the EMAS material. An EMAS is similar in concept to the runaway truck ramp made of gravel or sand. It is intended to stop an aircraft that has overshot a runway when there is an insufficient free space for a standard runway safety area (RSA). Multiple patents have been issued on the construction and design on the materials and process. FAA Advisory Circular 150/5220-22B explains that an EMAS may not be effective for incidents involving aircraft of less than 25,000 pounds weight. It also clarifies that an EMAS is not the same as a stopway, which is defined in FAA Advisory Circular 150/5300-13A, Section 312. As of May 2017, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) has been working on developing a harmonized regulation regarding arresting systems. Research projects completed in Europe have looked into the cost-effectiveness of EMAS. Although arrestor beds have initially been installed at airports where the runway safety areas are below standards, their ability to stop aircraft with minimal or no damage to the air frame and its occupants has proven to bring results far beyond the cost of installations. The latest report, "Estimated Cost-Benefit Analysis of Runway Severity Reduction Based on Actual Arrestments" shows how the money saved through the first 11 arrestments has reached a calculated total of 1.9 Billion USD, thus saving over $1 B over the estimated cost of development (R&D, all installations worldwide, maintenance and repairs reaching a total of USD 600 Million). The study suggests that mitigating the consequences of runway excursions worldwide may turn out to be much more cost-effective than the current focus on reducing the already very low probability of occurrence. Higher EMAS bed with side steps to allow aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF) access and passenger egress. The FAA's design criteria for new airports designate Runway Safety Areas (RSA's) to increase the margin of safety if an overrun occurs and to provide additional access room for response vehicles. A United States federal law required that the length of RSA's in airports was to be 1,000 feet (300 m) by the end of 2015, in a response to a runway overrun into a highway at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey.[ At airports built before these standards were put into effect, the FAA has funded the installation of EMAS at the ends of main runways. The minimum recommended overall length of an EMAS installation is 600 feet (180 m), of which at least 400 feet (120 m) is to consist of the frangible material. As of July 2014, 47 United States airports had been so equipped; the plan was to have 62 airports so equipped by the end of 2015.[ As of May 2017, over 100 EMAS have been installed at over 60 US airports. As of May 2017, there were two recognized EMAS manufacturers worldwide that meet the FAA requirements of Advisory Circular 150-5220-22B, “Engineered Materials Arresting Systems for Aircraft Overruns.” (The FAA must review and approve each EMAS installation.) The first, original EMAS was developed in the mid-1990s by Zodiac Arresting Systems (then known as ESCO/Engineered Arresting Systems Corp.) as part of a collaboration and technical acceptance by the FAA. EMASMAX® (fourth generation EMAS) arrestor beds are composed of blocks of lightweight, crushable cellular cement material, encased in jet blast resistant protection, designed to safely stop airplanes that overshoot runways. Zodiac’s latest, most durable EMAS is installed on over 110 airport runways at over 65 airports on three continents. Zodiac's EMAS has undergone intense testing, including several live aircraft test runs at speeds up 55 knots and is the world’s first and only EMAS that has safely stopped aircraft in real emergency overrun situations at commercial airports. In October 2016 EMAS saved Vice Presidential candidate Mike Pence's B737 from a runway overrun at La Guardia Airport, and in December 2018 EMAS saved a Southwest Airlines B737 at Burbank Airport. Runway Safe EMAS (second generation EMAS) is a foamed silica bed made from recycled glass and is contained within a high-strength plastic mesh system anchored to the pavement at the end of the runway. The foamed silica is poured into lanes bounded by the mesh and covered with a poured cement layer and treated with a top coat of sealant.[ Runway Safe EMAS has been installed to replace older EMAS at Chicago Midway. Runway Safe has also installed an EMAS at Zurich airport 2016. There is a third manufacturer, certified by the Chinese CAAC, with a product that is very similar to the original one of Zodiac ESCO.
Episode 53 Show Notes Happy New Year! RH and AG break down a resolved pilot deviation. What went right? What went wrong? What lessons can be learned? For privacy purposes, the identity of the pilot has been intentionally withheld but he has shared details with us that he hopes will prevent this type of error from happening again. Thank you, “Unnamed pilot”! Feedback 1.RH explains what TW meant by “sitting reserve”. Thank you, TW! 2. TM “The Fire Truck Guy” summarizes his unplayed audio feedback about munitions. He also sent a picture of an ARFF truck he is restoring. Thank you, TM! 3. BL sent a link to his virtual air traffic network; VATUSA. Thank you, BL. 4. DEW sent in questions about FSS relaying cancellation of IFR flight plans and a suggestion on how to activate a VFR flight plan before departure. Thank you, DEW! Max Trescott at Aviation News Talk podcast, Episode 091. Thanks, Max! We have feedback in the hopper related to air traffic controller training, specifically at a busy tower when the controller working was in training and the training controller had to step in and over key the trainee. Do any of you have a story where you could tell someone was training? What happened? Have a great week and thanks for listening!

I'm going to run you through the pay rates for all the fire services around Australia or most of them, to give you an idea of what you're going to get paid as a firefighter. Then I'm going to do an average so that I answers that question broadly, but I'll go as deep as possible as I can on the data that we've got on the sheet behind it. I'll also put the document up so you can download it if you want all in one spot. I'll go through it all so it's nice and easy to look at the service that you're applying to and figure out how much you're going to get paid. These figures are up to date as of, most of them, 2007/ 2008. There's after those we could possibly get them at this point in time. So each year I'll try and update this but this is how we're going to do it for now.So QFES, a recruit firefighter is currently getting 2555 bucks, that's 89 a fortnight. So times that by 26 and you get yearly wage. And the classification firefighter 2651 should match out the gates. So that's per fortnight. SAMFS pay rate as of 2004 down through to 2017 is as written in this document here. So you'll have to download that one to get that. DFES or WA Fire Service pay rate as of 2006 down, so these ones will be old but you'll get an indicative idea. So trainee firefighter 69,000 per year which is probably the highest in the country I reckon, just off the top of my head. So 70 grand a year as a trainee. Goes up to 76 when you stop being a trainee, so a fifth class firefighter. First class firefighters are known to earn to a grand which is pretty good. Semi-firefighter, 95. Station officer, 107. SO, 211. Area officer, 121. Right up there, Chief Superintendent at 150 grand. So that gives you a really good idea across the board of where you're going to start. I'd say their starting wage is probably a higher one in the country. So you can earn anywhere from sort of 60 grand to 150 in the fire service as a base rate. The next one is the pay rate for Fire Rescue New South Wales as of February 2017. So a recruit firefighter weekly rate of pay from the 16th of Feb will be 1207 bucks a week. So times that by 52 and you get the idea. Right up to the inspector and he's getting 2300 a week. So when you're a qualified firefighter it goes up to 1500 with Fire and Rescue New South Wales. Big pay rate, so these are just the firefighter levels. I can give you an idea of the other level. So a recruit firefighter is earning 1000 bucks a week. So 52 grand a year. So a little bit less than Western Australia pay rate which is 70, so 20,000 less as a recruit. Then you go on to station and it bumps up to 400 bucks extra a week which probably brings you a little bit closer, right up a qualified firefighter at 1550 which is the same as New South Wales essentially.Then ACT Fire and Rescue pay rates, that's another download. I can set up the links there for you, you just have to read that one yourself all in one spot at least. Tasmanian Fire Service pay rate. Trainee firefighter, this is as of 2010 so you can imagine this has gone up significantly, but 41 grand as a trainee. First class firefighter, 55. So I would say this is probably more in line with Vic anyway. That is a pretty old thing but that's all we could get off their website. ARFF pay rates as of 2007. Let's say you start as a recruit, what's a recruit getting? 35 grand. That's not great, that's what it is. Trainee firefighter level one, 61 grand. So it increases significantly once you sought of jump on board as a working firefighter. So then leading firefighters 87 which is pretty much in the mix. Then we've got a SSO and SO, so substation officer, that's the difference there. So, SO is actually a higher rank around 100 grand and the controls are 110. So slightly less than average what they have but all the same not too bad. Northern Territory, all of PFES, you're going to start off on 64 grand as a recruit. It goes up to 67 and then your classes are between 70 grand and 82 as a firefighter. Then you get standing and leading around the 90 grand mark. Station officers is about 100 and senior station officer 107. So slightly below average I reckon just looking at it. But that's the general gist of firefighter wages or firefighter salary for the different services around the country.So if you looked at an average of, I reckon, on the safe side sort of starting around the 50-ish, 55 grand mark as a recruit and then once you qualify looking at 70, 75 grand. So to give you a broad idea hopefully this has been helpful. I'm Brant Clayton this is Firerecruitmentaustralia.com.
